Fort Worth is the 17th-largest city in the United States of America and the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas.[7] The city is located in North Central Texas and covers nearly 350 square miles (910 km2) in Tarrant, Denton, Parker, and Wise counties—serving as the seat for Tarrant County. According to the 2013 census estimates, Fort Worth has a population of 792,727.[3] The city is the second-largest in the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan area.
The city was established in 1849 as an Army outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Today Fort Worth still embraces its Western heritage and traditional architecture and design.[8][9] USS Fort Worth (LCS-3) is the first ship of the United States Navy named after the city.
Fort Worth is home to the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and several world-class museums. The Kimbell Art Museum, considered to have one of the best collections in Texas, is housed in what is widely regarded as one of Texas' foremost works of modern architecture designed by Louis Kahn and Renzo Piano. Also of note are the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum, the latter of which houses one of the most extensive collections of American art in the world, in a building designed by Philip Johnson. The city is also home to Texas Christian University, Texas Wesleyan University, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Texas A&M University School of Law, and many multinational corporations including Bell Helicopter, Lockheed Martin, American Airlines, Radio Shack, and others.
A line of seven army posts were established in 1848-49 after the Mexican War to protect the settlers of West Texas and included Fort Worth, Fort Graham, Fort Gates, Fort Croghan, Fort Martin Scott, Fort Lincoln and Fort Duncan.[10]
Major General William Jenkins Worth (1794–1849) was second in command to General Zachary Taylor at the opening of the Mexican–American War in 1846. After the war, Worth was placed in command of the Department of Texas in 1849. In January 1849 Worth proposed a line of ten forts to mark the western Texas frontier from Eagle Pass to the confluence of the West Fork and Clear Fork of the Trinity River. One month later Worth died from cholera. General William S. Harney assumed command of the Department of Texas and ordered Major Ripley A. Arnold (Company F, Second United States Dragoons)[10] to find a new fort site near the West Fork and Clear Fork. On June 6, 1849, Arnold established a camp on the bank of the Trinity River and named the post Camp Worth in honor of the late General Worth. In August 1849 Arnold moved the camp to the north-facing bluff which overlooked the mouth of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River.
Although Native American attacks were still a threat in the area, pioneers were already settling near the fort. E. S. Terrell (1812–1905) claimed to be the first resident of Fort Worth.[11] The fort was flooded the first year and moved to the top of the bluff where the courthouse sits today. No trace of the original fort remains. The fort was abandoned September 17, 1853.[10]
Fort Worth went from a sleepy outpost to a bustling town when it became a stop along the legendary Chisholm Trail, the dusty path on which millions of head of cattle were driven north to market. Fort Worth became the center of the cattle drives, and later, the ranching industry. Its location on the Old Chisholm Trail helped establish Fort Worth as a trading and cattle center and earned it the nickname "Cowtown".
During the 1860s Fort Worth suffered from the effects of the Civil War and Reconstruction. The population dropped as low as 175, as money, food, and supply shortages burdened the residents. Gradually, however, the town began to revive.
By 1872, Jacob Samuels, William Jesse Boaz, and William Henry Davis had opened general stores. The next year Khleber M. Van Zandt established Tidball, Van Zandt, and Company, which became Fort Worth National Bank in 1884.

In 1875, the Dallas Herald published an article by a former Fort Worth lawyer, Robert E. Cowart, who wrote that the decimation of Fort Worth's population, caused by the economic disaster and hard winter of 1873, had dealt a severe blow to the cattle industry. He further stated that the harm to the cattle industry, combined with the railroad stopping the laying of track 30 miles (48 km) outside of Fort Worth, had caused Fort Worth to become such a drowsy place that he saw a panther (cougar, mountain lion) asleep in the street by the courthouse. Although an intended insult, the name Panther City was enthusiastically embraced when in 1876 Fort Worth recovered economically.[12] Many businesses and organizations continue to use Panther in their name. The Fort Worth police have a panther prominently set at the top of their badge.[13]
In 1876, the Texas and Pacific Railway arrived in Fort Worth, causing a boom and transforming the Fort Worth Stockyards into a premier cattle industry in wholesale trade.[14] The arrival of the railroad ushered in an era of astonishing growth for Fort Worth, as migrants from the devastated war-torn South continued to swell the population, and small, community factories and mills yielded to larger businesses. Newly dubbed the "Queen City of the Prairies," Fort Worth supplied a regional market via the growing transportation network.
Fort Worth became the westernmost railhead and a transit point for cattle shipment. With the city's main focus being on cattle and the railroads, local businessman, Louville Niles, formed the Fort Worth Stockyards Company in 1893. Shortly thereafter, the two biggest cattle slaughtering firms at the time, Armour and Swift, both established operations in the new stockyards.
With the boom times came some problems. Fort Worth had a knack for separating cattlemen from their money. Cowboys took full advantage of their last brush with civilization before the long drive on the Chisholm Trail from Fort Worth up north to Kansas. They stocked up on provisions from local merchants, visited the colorful saloons for a bit of gambling and carousing, then galloped northward with their cattle only to whoop it up again on their way back. The town soon became home to Hell's Half Acre, the biggest collection of bars, dance halls and bawdy houses south of Dodge City (the northern terminus of the Chisholm Trail), giving Fort Worth the nickname of "The Paris of the Plains".[15]
Crime was rampant, and certain sections of town were off-limits for proper citizens. Shootings, knifings, muggings and brawls became a nightly occurrence. Cowboys were joined by a motley assortment of buffalo hunters, gunmen, adventurers, and crooks. As the importance of Fort Worth as a crossroads and cowtown grew, so did Hell's Half Acre.
The Acre grew until it sprawled across four of the city's main north-south thoroughfares. These boundaries, which were never formally recognized, represented the maximum area covered by the Acre, around 1900. Occasionally, the Acre was also referred to as "the bloody Third Ward" after it was designated one of the city's three political wards in 1876.
Long before the Acre reached its maximum boundaries, local citizens had become alarmed at the level of crime and violence in their city. In 1876 Timothy Isaiah "Longhair Jim" Courtright was elected city marshal with a mandate to tame the Acre's wilder activities.
Courtright cracked down on violence and general rowdiness by sometimes putting as many as 30 people in jail on a Saturday night, but allowed the gamblers to operate unmolested. After receiving information that train and stagecoach robbers, such as the Sam Bass gang, were using the Acre as a hideout, local authorities intensified law-enforcement efforts. Yet certain businessmen placed a newspaper advertisement arguing that such legal restrictions in Hell's Half Acre would curtail the legitimate business activities there.
Despite this tolerance from business, however, the cowboys began to stay away, and the businesses began to suffer. City officials muted their stand against vice. Courtright lost support of the Fort Worth Democrat and consequently lost when he ran for reelection in 1879.
At one time or another reform-minded mayors like H. S. Broiles and crusading newspaper editors like B. B. Paddock declared war on the district but with no long-term results. The Acre meant income for the city (all of it illegal) and excitement for visitors. This could possibly be why the reputation of the Acre was sometimes exaggerated by raconteurs which longtime Fort Worth residents claimed the place was never as wild as its reputation.
The loudest outcries during the periodic clean-up campaigns were against the dance halls, where men and women met, as opposed to the saloons or the gambling parlors, which were virtually all male.
A major reform campaign in the late 1880s was brought on by Mayor Broiles and County Attorney R. L. Carlock after two events. In the first of these, on February 8, 1887, Luke Short and Jim Courtright had a shootout on Main Street that left Courtright dead and Short the "King of Fort Worth Gamblers."
This event, combined with the first prohibition campaign in Texas, helped to shut down the Acre's worst excesses in 1889. More than any other factor, urban growth began to improve the image of the Acre, as new businesses and homes moved into the south end of town.
Another change was the influx of black residents. Excluded from the business end of town and the nicer residential areas, Fort Worth's black citizens, who numbered some 7,000 out of a total population of 50,000 around 1900, settled into the southern portion of the city. Though some joined in the profitable vice trade (to run, for instance, the Black Elephant Saloon), many others found legitimate work and bought homes.
A third change was in the popularity and profitability of the Acre, which was no longer attracting cowboys and out-of-town visitors. Its visible populace was now more likely to be derelicts and the homeless.
By 1900, most of the dance halls and gamblers were gone. Cheap variety shows and prostitution became the chief forms of entertainment. The Progressive Era was similarly making its reformist mark felt in districts like the Acre all over the country.
In 1911, the Reverend J. Frank Norris launched an offensive against racetrack gambling in the Baptist Standard and used the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Fort Worth to attack vice and prostitution. Norris used the Acre to scourge the leadership of Fort Worth. When he began to link certain Fort Worth businessmen with property in the Acre and announce their names from his pulpit, the battle heated up.
On February 4, 1912, Norris's church was burned to the ground; that evening his enemies tossed a bundle of burning oiled rags onto his porch, but the fire was extinguished and caused minimal damage. A month later the arsonists succeeded in burning down the parsonage.
In a sensational trial lasting a month, Norris was charged with perjury and arson in connection with the two fires. He was acquitted, but his continued attacks on the Acre accomplished little until 1917. A new city administration and the federal government, which was eying Fort Worth as a potential site for a major military training camp, joined forces with the Baptist preacher to bring down the curtain on the Acre finally.
The police department compiled statistics showing that 50% of the violent crime in Fort Worth occurred in the Acre, a shocking confirmation of long-held suspicions. After Camp Bowie was located on the outskirts of Fort Worth in the summer of 1917, martial law was brought to bear against prostitutes and barkeepers of the Acre. Fines and stiff jail sentences curtailed their activities. By the time Norris held a mock funeral parade to "bury John Barleycorn" in 1919, the Acre had become a part of Fort Worth history. The name, nevertheless, continued to be used for three decades thereafter to refer to the depressed lower end of Fort Worth.[16]
On March 28, 2000, at 6:15 pm, an F3 (some estimates claim an F4) tornado smashed through downtown, tearing many buildings into shreds and scrap metal. One of the hardest hit structures was the Bank One Tower, which was one of the dominant features of the Fort Worth skyline and which had Reata, a popular restaurant, on its top floor. It has since been converted to upscale condominiums and officially renamed "The Tower". This was the first major tornado to strike Fort Worth proper since the early 1940s.[17]
When oil began to gush in West Texas in the early twentieth century, and again in the late 1970s, Fort Worth was at the center of the wheeling and dealing. In July 2007, advances in horizontal drilling technology made vast natural gas reserves in the Barnett Shale available directly under the city, helping many residents receive royalty checks for their mineral rights.[18] Today the city of Fort Worth and many residents are dealing with the benefits and issues associated with the natural gas reserves under ground.[19][20]
Fort Worth was the fastest-growing large city in the United States from 2000 to 2006[21] and was voted one of "America's Most Livable Communities."[22]
Fort Worth is located in North Texas, and has a generally humid sub-tropical climate.[23] It is part of the Cross Timbers region;[24] this region is a boundary between the more heavily forested eastern parts and the rolling hills and prairies of the central part. Specifically, the city is part of the Grand Prairie ecoregion within the Cross Timbers.
The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is the hub of the North Texas region. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 298.9 square miles (774 km2), of which 292.5 square miles (758 km2) is land and 6.3 square miles (16 km2) (2.12%) is water.
A large storage dam was built in 1913 on the West Fork of the Trinity River, 7 miles (11 km) from the city, with a storage capacity of 30 billion US gallons (110,000,000 m³) of water. The lake formed by this dam is known as Lake Worth. The cost of the dam was nearly US$1,500,000 – a handsome sum at the time.[citation needed]
Downtown is mainly known for its Art Deco-style buildings. The Tarrant County Courthouse was created in the American Beaux Arts design, which was modeled after the Texas State Capitol building. Most of the structures around Sundance Square have preserved their early 20th-century façades. Downtown has a unique rustic Architecture.
The city of Fort Worth contains over 1000 natural gas wells (December 2009 count) tapping the Barnett Shale. Each well site is a bare patch of gravel 2–5 acres (8,100–20,200 m2) in size. As city ordinances permit them in all zoning categories, including residential, well sites can be found in a variety of locations. Some wells are surrounded by masonry fences but most are secured by chain link.
Fort Worth has a humid subtropical climate according to the Köppen climate classification system and is within USDA hardiness zone 8a. The hottest month of the year is July, when the average high temperature is 95 °F (35.0 °C), and overnight low temperatures average 72 °F (22.2 °C), giving an average temperature of 84 °F (28.9 °C).[25] The coldest month of the year is January, when the average high temperature is 55 °F (12.8 °C) and low temperatures average 31 °F (−0.6 °C).[25] The average temperature in January is 43 °F (6 °C).[25] The highest temperature ever recorded in Fort Worth is 113 °F (45.0 °C), on June 26, 1980, during the Great 1980 Heat Wave,[26] and June 27, 1980.[27] The coldest temperature ever recorded in Fort Worth was −8 °F (−22.2 °C) on February 12, 1899.[28] Because of its position in North Texas, Fort Worth is very susceptible to supercell thunderstorms, which produce large hail and can produce tornados.
The average annual precipitation for Fort Worth is 34.01 inches (863.9 mm).[25] The wettest month of the year is May, when an average of 4.58 inches (116.3 mm) of precipitation falls.[25] The driest month of the year is January, when only 1.70 inches (43.2 mm) of precipitation falls.[25] The driest calendar year since records began has been 1921 with 17.91 inches (454.9 mm) and the wettest 1991 with 53.54 inches (1,359.9 mm). The wettest calendar month has been April 1922 with 17.64 inches (448.1 mm), including 8.56 inches (217.4 mm) on 25 April.
The average annual snowfall in Fort Worth is 2.6 inches (0.07 m).[29] The most snowfall in one month has been 13.5 inches (0.34 m) in February 1978, and the most in a season 17.6 inches (0.45 m) in 1977/1978.

For those interested in hiking, birding, or canoeing, the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge in northwest Fort Worth is a 3621-acre preserved natural area designated by the Department of the Interior as a National Natural Landmark Site in 1980. Established in 1964 as the Greer Island Nature Center and Refuge, it will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2014. The Nature Center has small, genetically pure bison herd, a resident prairie dog town, and the prairie upon which they live. It is one of the largest urban parks of its type in the US.
While much of Fort Worth's sports attention is focused on the Metroplex's professional sports teams, the city has its own athletic identity. The TCU Horned Frogs compete in NCAA Division I Athletics, including the football team, consistently ranked in the Top 25, and the baseball team, which has competed in the last six NCAA Tournaments and came within a win of making the College World Series in 2009. The women's basketball team has competed in the last seven NCAA Tournaments. Texas Wesleyan University competes in the NAIA, and won the 2006 NAIA Div. I Men's Basketball championship and three-time National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA) team championships (2004–2006). Fort Worth is also home to the NCAA football Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, as well as four minor-league professional sports teams. One of these minor league teams, the Fort Worth Cats baseball team, was reborn in 2001. The original Cats were a very popular minor league team in Fort Worth from the 19th century (when they were called the Panthers) until 1960, when the team was merged into the Dallas Rangers.
The presence of Texas Christian University less than 5 miles (8 km) from downtown and national competitiveness in football, baseball, and men's and women's basketball have sustained TCU as an important part of Fort Worth's sports scene.
The Horned Frog football team produced two national championships in the 1930s and remained a strong competitor in the Southwest Conference into the 1960s before beginning a long period of underperformance. The revival of the TCU football program began under Coach Dennis Franchione with the success of running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Under Head Coach Gary Patterson, the Horned Frogs have developed into a perennial Top-10 contender, and a Rose Bowl winner in 2011. Notable players include Sammy Baugh, Davey O'Brien, Bob Lilly, LaDainian Tomlinson, Jerry Hughes, and Andy Dalton.[43] The Horned Frogs, along with their rivals and fellow non-AQ leaders the Boise State Broncos and University of Utah Utes were deemed the quintessential "BCS Busters", having appeared in both the Fiesta and Rose Bowls. Their "BCS Buster" role ended in 2012 when they joined the Big 12 athletic conference in all sports. The Horned Frog football teams have one of the best winning percentages of any school in the Football Bowl Subdivision in recent years.
Fort Worth hosts an important professional men's golf tournament every May at the Colonial Country Club. The Colonial Invitational Golf Tournament, now officially known as Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, is one of the more prestigious and historical events of the Tour calendar. The Colonial Country Club was the home course of golfing legend Ben Hogan, who was from Fort Worth.

Fort Worth has one newspaper published daily, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The Star-Telegram is the forty-fifth most widely circulated newspaper in the United States, with a daily circulation of 210,990 and a Sunday circulation of 304,200.
The Fort Worth Weekly is an alternative weekly newspaper that serves the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The newspaper has an approximate circulation of 50,000.[citation needed] The Fort Worth Weekly publishes every Wednesday and features, among many things, news reporting, cultural event guides, movie reviews, and editorials.
Fort Worth Business Press is a weekly publication that chronicles news in the Fort Worth business community. Fort Worth, Texas magazine is a monthly publication that highlights the social and cultural life of the city.
The Fort Worth Press was a daily newspaper, published weekday afternoons and on Sundays from 1900 until 1975. It was owned by the E. W. Scripps Company and published under the then-prominent Scripps-Howard Lighthouse logo. The paper reportedly last made money in the early 1950s. Scripps Howard stayed with the paper until mid 1975. Circulation had dwindled to fewer than 30,000 daily, just more than 10% of that of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. The name Fort Worth Press was resurrected briefly in a new Fort Worth Press paper operated by then-former publisher Bill McAda and briefer still by William Dean Singleton, then-owner of the weekly Azle (Texas) News, now owner of the Media Central news group. The Fort Worth Press operated from offices and presses at 500 Jones street in downtown Fort Worth.[53]
Like most cities that grew heavily after World War II, Fort Worth's main mode of transportation is the automobile. But Fort Worth offers bus transportation via The T, as well as an interurban train service to Dallas via the Trinity Railway Express.
The first streetcar company in Fort Worth was the Fort Worth Street Railway Company. Its first line began operating in December 1876, and traveled from the courthouse down Main Street to the T&P Depot.[54] By 1890, there were more than 20 private companies operating streetcar lines in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth Street Railway Company bought out many of its competitors, and was eventually itself bought out by the Bishop & Sherwin Syndicate in 1901.[55] The new ownership changed the company's name to the Northern Texas Traction Company. The Northern Texas Traction Company operated 84 miles of streetcar railways in 1925, and their lines connected downtown Fort Worth to TCU, the Near Southside, Arlington Heights, Lake Como, and the Stockyards.
At its peak, the electric interurban industry in Texas consisted of almost 500 miles of track, making Texas the second in interurban mileage in all states west of the Mississippi River. Electric interurban railways were prominent in the early 1900s, peaking in the 1910s and fading until all electric interurban railways were abandoned by 1948. Close to three-fourths of the mileage was in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, running between Fort Worth and Dallas and to other area cities including Cleburne, Denison, Corsicana and Waco. The depicted in the associated image was the second to be constructed in the State of Texas and ran thirty-five miles between Fort Worth and Dallas. Northern Texas Traction Company built the railway, which was operational from 1902 to 1934.[56]
Fort Worth is served by four Interstates and two US highways. It also contains a number of arterial streets in a grid formation.
Interstate highways 30, 20, 35W, and 820 all pass through the city limits.
Interstate 820 is a spur of Interstate 20 and serves as a beltway for the city. Interstate 30 and Interstate 20 connect Fort Worth to Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Dallas. Interstate 35W connects Fort Worth with Hillsboro to the south and the cities of Denton and Gainesville to the north.
U.S. Route 287 runs southeast through the city connecting Wichita Falls to the north and Mansfield to the south. U.S. Route 377 runs south through the northern suburbs of Haltom City and Keller through the central business district.
Notable state highways:

The Fort Worth Transportation Authority, better known as The T, serves Fort Worth with dozens of different bus routes throughout the city, including a downtown bus circulator known as Molly the Trolley. The T operates busses in the suburbs of Richland Hills (route 41) and Arlington (MAX).[57]
In 2010, Fort Worth won a $25 million Federal Urban Circulator Grant to build a streetcar system.[58] But in December 2010, city council forfeited the grant by voting to end the streetcar study.[59]
Fort Worth is home to these four airports within city limits:
A 2011 study by Walk Score ranked Fort Worth 47th most walkable of fifty largest U.S. cities.[62]
Fort Worth is a part of the Sister Cities International program and maintains cultural and economic exchange programs with its eight sister cities.[63][64]

How far below sea level will your home be if …
By Mike Hanlon
September 25, 2006
September 26, 2006 Last week we reported on the rapid and dramatic melting of the arctic icecap, and joked that the upside was perhaps that the property you bought with ocean views might soon become beachfront. Now some people might think it's a good thing to plan for rising sea levels given that people have long been predicting that global warming will result in thermal expansion of the ocean and melting glaciers and ice sheets.
In 1995 a report from the International Panel on Climate Change estimated that the sea will rise 50 centimeters (20 inches) with lowest range at 15 centimeters (6 inches) and high range at 95 centimeters (37 inches) by 2100, and NASA's take is supported with lots of evidence the warming is accelerating (temperature trends, sea level trends ) might come at us in a rush. If you go here, you can dial in the rise in water levels and see which properties will be waterfront if that occurs.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
The Vera Wang lettering is probably a custom Bodoni-inspired look. I think we've discussed it before.
The other sample is fairly small, but looks more Century-ish than Didoni, to me.
- Mike Yanega
arunb - also close to Sackers Roman and Luxury Diamond.
vera is likely custom, but closest to Didot
Correction, it is more of a Bodoni.

Do you think Nitroplanes would check the box for a blue motor before shipping it?
I ordered additional items with mine, and they opened the box to pack them inside, so it seems they could check the box for other issues. The fuselage comes in its own long box inside, which could be easily opened and checked if they agreed to it. The motor is quite visible inside.
I think the red motors were on earlier releases of this version. I get the feeling they all come with the blue motors now, but I could be wrong. As I mentioned a while back, they need to check the fuse anyway before they ship these. The tail end is prone to breakage inside the box. |
I'm almost done building the floats for my Cessna.
I flew it last night on the floats for the first time with no "chase boat" in the water. It flies like a tank, but gets the job done. I'll post photos soon.

Can't figure out prop installation
I'm having difficulties installing the prop on this plane. I've never built a power model before, only a two channel balsa glider when I was a kid about 30 years ago. I bought the Dynam Cessna as a 4 channel trainer and wanted something I could put together quickly.
Anyway, I'm a bit confused about the propeller installation. The manual is pretty much useless, and I've looked on youtube / forums for a walkthru but no luck. The only way for it all to fit together properly (as I see it) is to thread everything on to the motor shaft all at once...in other words, locknut inside the spinner backpiece, then prop w/ locknut inside front of prop, and spin it all onto the shaft so that the nuts are inside their respective places. I did this, and it seemed to install fine. I installed the spinner, and then did a bit of motor testing to see if it all worked. I eventually spun up to full power and the motor shaft broke! The prop flew off, bounced off the workbench and hit my arm. Fortunately it was cold in my shop and I had a jacket on. Anyway, what am I doing wrong? Also, do the two washers that come with the motor fit on there somehow? I didn't use any ca or threadlock to hold everything together; was that my mistake? I think the entire assemply spun back on the shaft, reached the non-threaded portion and caused it to shear (that is where it broke). Thanks, greg ps hydro pyro, your floats look great! |
This is from memory...
Nut (hex side forward), spinner back fits onto nut, prop, (washer?), nut, then mount the spinner tip. |

Hydro's description of the prop installation is spot on. I don't understand the idea of "threading everything on the motor shaft all at once".
Floats look nice but sure are bulky - I would imagine they really impact the plane's flight performance. My plane is sort of like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going... I've now logged 106 flights on it with no issues. It's a very nice flyer and a real value at it's modest price. |
That's going to be tough. They don't really seem to sell parts for these, they are complete kits. You'd have to cut a new cover from scratch and install the magnet.
The floats and hardware weigh around 5 ounces. It flies like a tank and needs lots of throttle in the turns, but handles OK. Take-offs, landings, even loops and rolls are good. Lots of fun over a big calm lake. They're made from extruded styrofoam, spackle, poly, and Econo-Kote covering, with lightweight aluminum tubing struts. |

re: Can't figure out prop installation
I tried it your way (I ordered a new motor as I couldn't find just the motor shaft...) and it worked just fine. Thanks for the info. dbc, it's easy to thread it all on at once...just insert nut into back spinner piece, put prop on with the other locknut inside of the prop. Now spin the entire assembly onto the shaft at the same time. This results in all locknuts being 'inside'; assuming no washers are used. However, I don't recommend this without using threadlock or ca on the threads, because otherwise the assembly could spin down the shaft like it did for me. Basically, the way hydro laid out is better so I'm going to stick with that. |
This plane will be arriving on my door step on Monday. Is this the right forum for it?

Hello everyone. Just bought a 2007 4x4 Sport and am I ever lovin it. About me: I sell Tacos and other Toys in the High desert. Enjoy playing in the desert with the truck.
I have owned one other Toyota truck and that was a 1986 hand me down with 170,000 on it. Sold it though.
I live in Barstow and call Rolla home. Hence the Route66Taco.
No mods other than a bent front skid plate. Gotta love the desert. Have some mods planned though. TRD intake and exhaust ordered. Still deciding on wheels. Like the Sports' wheels a lot, but they are kinda...well...stock. Suspension a whole other subject. Hopefully I can learn a little from you guys.
So, looking forward to reading and chatting with all of you and hope to meet on the trail. thanks for the site.

Saint Parfum
A hand-perfumed and hand-poured candle with an 80-hour burn time. This candle has a "fresh linen" fragrance, with very clean accords of water, air, and cotton.

Released: May 01st, 1984
Running Time: 85
Director: Henri Pachard
Company: Caballero
Joey Silvera, Georgina Spelvin, John Leslie, Mai Lin
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
One of director Henri Pachard's better efforts, Between Lovers proves a classy mature tale featuring juicy Jesie St. James as Maggie, a fashion designer and the legendary John Leslie as her philandering husband Brad. The film starts off with a bang when Maggie catches Brad in bed with oriental beauty Mai Lin, just as he's about to shoot his load. This outrages Maggie and she's off to a swinger's bar where she meets a handsome struggling artist named Dexter, slickly played by Joey Silvera. She's soon smitten with Dex and eventually marries him. What's a woman to do with two husbands? She juggles them back and forth while having great sensual time, until the charade begins to unravel.
St. James sizzles in her sexual sessions. She's never looked better and her single steamy bedroom encounter with big John is the erotic highlight of the film. Georgina Spelvin as Jesie's best friend lends strong support. She creates a warm wonderful character who makes her sparkling dialogue snap, crack, and pop, and also does a classic seduction of a naïve young female model. Finally, this is one of those rare adult cassettes that holds strong appeal for the expanding women's audience, with its intricate character development.

The group that runs the Internet's address system is revealing a few details about the program it launched in January allowing for the introduction of an unlimited number of new Internet addresses.
So far, 100 groups or companies have submitted applications to run their own domain names to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the group said Tuesday. Each applicant is allowed to apply for up to 50 names. However, applicants must pay a $185,000 evaluation fee for each name they apply for, an ICANN spokesman said. ICANN has so far refused to say now many names each applicant has applied for or give any details about the applicants.
In the unlikely event that every applicant applied for the maximum number of names, it means there could be as many as 5,000 possible new domain names to compete with the 22 existing top-level domain names. But it could take up to a year before any of the proposed names, whether it be .car or .anything, become available. ICANN has established a lengthy evaluation process to ensure applicants have the financial and technical means to run a new domain name.
ICANN began accepting applications for its controversial new domain name program on Jan. 12 and the window for applications closes April 12.
The program has been criticized by trademark holders and others who worry that they will be forced to apply for domain names for strategic and competitive reasons and say it will pose unnecessary costs on trademark holders. ICANN has promised to closely evaluate the process after the first round is completed and before moving forward with a second round.
Despite this, ICANN's board approved a resolution last week committing to opening a second round for the introduction of new domain names. It has not set a date for when that will begin. "The important thing here is that the board has erased any doubt that there will be a second application window for new generic top-level domains," ICANN Chairman Steve Crocker said in a statement Friday.

EQ 2 is a very slow paced experience grind. The areas I mentioned should be perfectly valid for comparison as most people who start the game will see them for a long time. As a matter of fact. Levels 20-30 have usually been deciding factors for people who have stayed and left.
It is nowhere as slow as original EQ1 was. I also dont look at it as a grind like EQ1 becuase I am not just sitting and camping and waiting for mobs to spawn. I am doing quests and or helping my guild out with writs.
To me I just dont see how you can review a game when you have not reached high enough level to experience most of the content. It like reviewing HL2, but only playing the first few levels and leaving out the rest. Were you in a guild? I noticed you dont talk about how the guilds work in EQ2. Being in a guild makes a huge difference in fun IMO.
I also noticed you did not mention grouping aspects...or what about the dungeons like Ruins of Varsoon, or even the instances. What about comparing interfaces? What about how you buy/sell like on a broker? Housing? Furniture..Lore
In regards to the tradeskill system. I'd have to disagree. I dont find that EQ 2's tradeskill system very fun at all.. Far too much reliance on harvesting skills. However EQ 2's main benefit to its tradeskill system is alot of the items created a worth using. I would like to point alot does not = All. I feel I have been very been fair in this comparison and the amount of charactors I played game me a unique experience to test multiple aspects of the game and each city/faction.
The thing is you said above you never liked tradeskills, so yeah EQ2 tradeskills wont be fun. Though I have all my harvest skills maxed out..i never harvest..I always buy my resources from other players on the broker. I just dont see how someone can review tradeskills if you are not a tradeskiller. As an alchemist I have made many friends from being an alchemist alone. I have fair prices and I have return customers who will come to me. The Tradeskill community is a community in of itself. What I am trying to get at is if someone reads the reveiw who loves the tradeskills aspect of a MMORPG they wont get a fair opinion.

Of course, EA Sports and Playfish have already staked their claim to the sub genre on Facebook with World Series Superstars, but already Gamevil has one thing going for it: global multiplayer. That's right, once you choose your team's name, logo and specialty between Power, Accuracy and Speed, you can jump into games immediately with anyone playing the game.
While you will certainly need Facebook friends to play in Exhibition games, those looking for a fast and easy Quick Play game, the world's digital baseball managers await you. There's also a Home Run Derby mode as well as full-blown tournaments, which are coming soon. And the gameplay is surprisingly interactive, having players actually swing at pitches with clicks.
Baseball Superstars features a full-blown pitching system as well, in which players select from a variety of pitches and choose exactly where they land in or around the strike zone. There are also a number of commands you can give to base runners to attempt to steal bases. All in all, this looks like an impressively full-featured baseball game on Facebook at launch.
Baseball Superstars is just Gamevil's second release on Facebook after Train City, which didn't do so hot, according to AppData. Considering the hype train that is US baseball in September and October, baseball fans (the closet Facebook game-loving ones, at least) are going to be on the hunt for a new experience on Facebook.
And it looks like Gamevil will be there to meet them with a Facebook game that actually focuses on, you know, the baseball? Hey, the second time can still be a charm, too, right?

Have you tried this new baseball Facebook game yet? What do you think of Gamevil's second entry into the Facebook game space, and what about their existing iOS games? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

American Theatre: History, Context, Form

Official URL: http://www.euppublishing.com/book/9780748645206
This book provides a brief yet informative evaluation of the variety and complexity of theatrical ventures in the United States. It embraces all epochs of theatre history, from pre-colonial Native American performance rituals and the endeavours of early colonisers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to the end of the twentieth century, situating American theatre as a lively, dynamic and diverse arena.
Theresa Saxon examines the implications of political manoeuvrings, economics - both state funded and commercial - race and gender, and material factors such as technology, riot and fire as major forces determining the structure of America's playhouses and productions.
She investigates critical understandings of the term 'theatre,' and assesses ways in which the various values of commerce, entertainment, education and dramatic production have informed the definition of theatre throughout America's history.

Today's Tuesday. That means it's Election Day. Please go vote if you haven't already. It's more important than football. Be an American and do it, no matter who you pick. That is all.
After a long Week 8, we're set to begin our second-to-last regular-season week. Right now we have no changes to the schedule (some Week 8 games were pushed to later than usual) but we'll let you know if any come.
Week 9 is notable for Friday's Woodland-Wolcott matchup that holds huge playoff implications. But Ansonia has a tune-up for the NVL championship game and flickering playoff hopes for Holy Cross and Derby are still alive. Derby, Seymour, Naugatuck and Holy Cross also have chances to post winning records with victories.
Thursday, Nov. 8
Torrington (4-4) at Sacred Heart (3-5): The Red Raiders' offense, while banged up and erratic, has been highly prolific over the last two weeks. Sacred Heart, meanwhile, has floundered over its last two games after picking up some momentum with the return of their three best players. These two teams really don't have a whole lot of rhythm so it is basically a toss-up at Municipal Stadium. Both teams struggle on defense so get ready for some points.
Picks: Remmy- Torrington, 48-28. Kyle- Sacred Heart, 46-42.
Friday, Nov. 9
Ansonia (8-0) at Wilby (4-4): We can only assume that the Chargers' starters will be out by halftime, if some of them play at all. Saiheed Sanders should have a pretty sizable workload out of the backfield again for Ansonia. On to the NVL title game for the Chargers.
Picks: Remmy- Ansonia, 49-7. Kyle- Ansonia, 48-6.
Saturday, Nov. 10
Naugatuck (5-3) at Kennedy (0-8): Few of us thought the Greyhounds would have a shot at a winning record early this season after the chaos with Rob Plasky's resignation. But here they are on the brink of their sixth victory. Naugy should be able to handle a young Kennedy squad that just hasn't been able to stop anybody this season. Steve Gesseck tells us that the Greyhounds' staff might have been premature in calling Mick Pernell the single-season scoring leader in Naugatuck history, but he might achieve that feat in this game.
Picks: Remmy- Naugatuck, 55-20. Kyle- Naugatuck, 62-14.
St. Paul (2-6) at Holy Cross (5-3): Talk about two teams trending in different directions. St. Paul was left for dead a few weeks ago but has played well over the past two weeks, pounding Kennedy before upsetting Sacred Heart. Meanwhile, Holy Cross is coming off its worst loss of the season to Woodland, failing to rack up even 150 yards of offense in seeing its playoff hopes likely go up in smoke. The Falcons have played much better since they stopped throwing the ball 35 times a game but the Crusaders' run defense is pretty solid. Still, the momentum working in different directions might make this one closer than we would have thought a few weeks ago.
Picks: Remmy- Holy Cross, 35-30. Kyle- Holy Cross, 42-28.
Crosby (1-7) at Derby (5-3): The Red Raiders can clinch a winning season for the first time since 1996 with a victory on senior night against the Bulldogs. Derby was successful in the air and on the ground against Seymour, and Crosby's defense isn't quite as good. Plus, the Bulldogs turn over the ball more than anybody in the league. Looks like Derby will finally turn the corner.
Picks: Remmy- Derby, 42-19. Kyle- Derby, 47-12.
Tuesday, Nov. 13
Seymour (5-3) at Watertown (1-7): The Wildcats looked pretty good for the first 26 minutes of their game against Derby before the Red Raiders started running the ball right down their throats. If Watertown was paying attention, we might see some running out of the Indians, too. But Watertown has struggled to have any consistency in its offense all season so it will be a slightly easier task for Seymour this week. The Indians have played decent defense at times this season and pulled an upset over the Wildcats in a similar position last year.
Picks: Remmy- Watertown, 28-27. Kyle- Seymour, 31-14.
As always, make your picks right here. The Predictions Tracker is updated through Week 8. Our Game of the Week thread, previewing the Wolcott-Woodland game, will be up Wednesday.
Also, since we had the Monday night game this week, we can now show the fantasy standings for the week.
Week 8 Fantasy Football- Remmy def. Kyle, 148-120
- Team Kyle (3-5): QB Mike Nicol 9, RB Arkeel Newsome 43, RB Mick Pernell 33, WR Anthony Scirpo 24, WR Rahmi Rountree 2, TE Levi Fancher 0, Ansonia defense 9
- Team Remmy (5-3): QB Tanner Kingsley 28, RB Tyrae Small 51, RB Jaquan Overbey 22, WR Andrew Matos 30, WR Dillon McMahon 14, TE Raeshaun Finney 0, Holy Cross defense 3

Who would have thought I'd be leading in Fantasy without having Newsome on my squad. Insane.
Sacred Heart(52) Torrington(38) – Sacred Heart gives an upset, similar to their last meeting at Municipal 2 years ago. Torrington just doesn't care anymore
Seymour(36) Watertown (40) – Big win for the Indians before they go to upset Torrington, again.
Ansonia Wilby – Ansonia..
Naugatuck (38) Kennedy (6)
St. Paul (30) Holy Cross (42)
Derby (42) Crosby (0)
doesn't care anymore? even after theloss to wolcott which ment pretty much the end of their season they came out with suspensions and beat cross and took derby out of the running to, im looking to see a torrington defense we havent seen this season, they afre holding sacred heart under 25 pts
Holy Cross only lost because it was a Saturday morning and half of them just rolled out of bed probably, Torrington beating holy cross was like derby beating Naugatuck. And yes, Torrington beat Derby..after giving up 39 points, half unanswered..we all know Torrington's passing defense is worse than their rushing..I.E, woodland, ansonia. Sacred heart is a passing team, i don't see Torrington taking the W.
with torringtons upbeat practices lately and the new spark to the defense there is no way that torrington loses this game
Torrington 31 SHHS 28 – Torrington will be able to run the ball successfully because SHHS is awful on D. SHHS will score because Torrington is awful on D. Torrington will control the TOP and win.
Seymour 20 Watertown 7 – Watertown is NOT good. I have said it a hundred times on this blog, their ENTIRE coaching staf needs to go.
Ansonia 56 Wilby 12 – Do you need me to explain why?
Naugy 49 Kennedy 0 – See my comments above about Watertown and apply them to Kennedy.
HC 42 St. Paul 21 – HC will bounce back against a bad St. Paul team.
Derby 42 Crosby 7 – Crosby is clueless.
Woodland 35 Wolcott 21 – This will boil down to Wolcott's ability to block and defend in the secondary. I realize Ansonia is good but their WR's were wide open. If Wolcott cannot get pressure on TK then this could be a blow out. Wolcott's O-Line will also have to step up big time. Woodland is playing very well right now and Wolcott is questioning if they are actually good or not……..We will find out at The Eagles Nest this Friday night.
Easy on the high school coaching staffs, dude. It's high school football and these are good guys.
I know but there is just no excuse for the way some of these teams come out to play every Friday. I am sure they are good guys but that doesn't mean you are a good coach. This league has been so uncompetitive from several teams that it is starting to annoy me. Take a page out of Derby & Wolcott's book. They are competing and it is not like their rosters are loaded with talent. I know the response is going to be "Nicol is not talented" and "Kreiger and McMahon are not talented" but look at the rest of the team. Their offensive lines are SMALL. These teams out coach their opponents. Even the new guy at Wilby has found a way to win some games with not a lot of talent. I just feel that some of these other teams could be better with the right leadership. Lennon has already won 5 games with not a lot of talent. I am just sayin….I will back off the coaches for you.
There's no doubt that some teams underachieve but I respect the time and effort they give to their programs. I know a lot of the players and coaches read here and I don't want this blog to become the source of mutinies.
Torrington 56 Sacred Heart 48
Woodland 28 Wolcott 24
Ansonia 52 Wilby 13
Seymour 21 Watertown 18
Naugatuck 56 Kennedy 20
Holy Cross 40 St. Paul 32
Derby 49 Crosby 16 -
Torrington 48 SHHS 35
AHS routs Wilby
Watertown beats Seymour (Watertown's record is not good, but they played HC and Wolcott tough)
Naugy routs Kennedy
Derby routs Crosby
St. Paul over HC (wheels are falling off of HC's wagon)
Derby routs Crosby
Wolcott beats Woodland. (This is the toughest game to pick all season.
I agree with cc. Wolcott's secondary and O-line must step their game up this week. I think they will and win a very close ball game. I smell overtime in this one.)-
An overtime thriller on Senior Night at The Eagles Nest would be awesome. If Wolcott steps it's game up we will see two legit QB's go at it for 48 minutes. Woodland with their aerial attack and Wolcott with their pound Nicol game. Which Defense will make the better adjustments and cause turnovers. I love this shit….It is going to be a great game. Can't forget, this game also pits two of the better younger coaching staffs against each other. Shea and Pace have similar laid back personalites while these two OC's are pretty flamboyant (Spelling).
Wow! Flambouyant? Liberace' was flambouyant! lol.
You know what I meant.
Wolcott's zone read/option game is tough to defend. AHS did a good job defending it because they played cover 0 and loaded the box with 7 defenders (played 3-3 with Free Safety in the box). Very tough to run when # of defenders out number # of blockers. Wolcott did have some success throwing the ball vs AHS. I think Wolcott WR's match up better this week vs Woodlands DB's. Defensively, i think Wolcott should play man to man with cover 2 behind it. Make Woodland run ball and take TK's arm out of the equation. Wolcott must clean up their run fits and tackle better for this to work. It wouldn't hurt if Wolcott disguises their coverages presnap to make TK have to think. Great chess match in this game..
Don't sleep on Woodland's ability to run the ball. They ran ALL OVER Wolcott last year. If they didn't fumble last year they would have beat Wolcott by two scores easily.
torrible -
St. Paul
Derby -
Torrington 55, Sacred Heart 36 – SHHS just doesn't play defense. I'm sure they will be willing to put up points in bunches against Torrington, but THS has the ability to run the football and control the clock more than the Hearts. Torrington takes this one
Woodland 28, Wolcott 21 – This may have been the toughest game all year to pick. Everything on the line for both teams. I just think Woodland's defense is too good. Kingsley needs to control the clock despite having a pass-first offense, and if Woodland can get some sort of running game going, they'll win this game. Could go either way
Ansonia 55, Wilby 12 – No explanation necessary. JV game
Seymour 28, Watertown 13 – Could be a very boring game. Don't think Seymour is good enough to blow anyone out, don't think Watertown can score enough to win.
Naugatuck 55, Kennedy 6 – Same as Ansonia vs Wilby
Holy Cross 48, St Paul 32 – Love what St Paul has been doing but not in the same league as Holy Cross. HC is bigger and more physical. They'll be able to run all over the Falcons and Marchi can't do it all by himself. Falcons more competitive than I thought they would be a month ago though
Derby 42, Crosby 14 – Similar explanation to Ansonia/Naugy games
Say, I just caught up with a couple of old comments. You said you're a Woodland alumnus; so am I. What year were you? I run our alumni association, so I probably know who you are.
Favorite teacher?
In for pics.
Yo Fish, Gaels could be done winning for the year. Pay-to-play sh** really starting to screw things up. Kids that were frosh and sophs when the crap all started didn't want to pay to sit on the bench and now it's showing up in the numbers. Roster down from 70 and close to 50. Sh**head admin and Bd of Ed.
Bums me out Drake. I havent lived in Shelton for 23 years, but I still bleed black and orange. In the mid 80's, we had about 38 players on the team, but they were 38 kids who REALLY wanted to play football. Many kids could not handle the conditioning and discipline. The BOE and administration in place are people from out of town who could care less about football and tradition. I heard there is a "personnell director" at SHS now who has the power to decisions on who coaches and who doesn't. Blows my mind.
Back in the day, before AYF, there was Pop Warner and that's it. Now we have two schools of thought. We have the parents that want their kids to play with kids their own size and the ones who just care about age. The problem is the choice enables kids to play in neighboring towns that offer what their looking for. Kids don't get to build the bond or pride they could of had they stayed home and played what was offered.
The biggest problem we have in our area/league is the fact that the High schools (not all, but the majority) have their own problems/agenda. We don't get the programs built from the ground up in the majority of our towns. The teams having the most success, at the high school level, are the ones that share philosophy's to the feeder programs. If our coaches (NVL) can get the PROGRAMS where they need to be the quality will get better. These guys need to be involved with their youth leagues. Teach the teachers not the kids. Make sure the youth coaches are getting the information and skills to develop these kids and we won't have to hear about the non violent, one team league. -
pay to play in Shelton is a disgrace. A town with a good tax base like Shelton should be ashamed of themselves.
If Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, Woodland and Oxford can all get by without pay to play, Shelton would be fine.
Sidenote, overheard Oxford football players at the Seymour/Derby game they can hang around with and welcome the challenge of playing Ansonia. Think about that one for a bit……
Oxford better worry about trying to beat Sacred Heart first.
Bethel had the same thoughts last year. Oxford would get handled, period. They do have a nice color scheme though.
Yo JTS, Going for the Predictions Tracker title I see!
Drake my friend I know so little about this stuff it isnt funny. Miss ya man. Thanksgiving might be fun. Looks like Shelton should be small favorite based on tougher schedule in SCC.
Derby 35 Shelton 14?????
Lol yeah in reverse.
Holy Cross
Derby 49 -
Holy Cross -
JR, you're right on the money. Disgraceful. Makes me want to break the law.
JTS, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Derby wins on Turkey Day. I thought they would be able to win last year and everybody thought I was nuts. Remember the immortal words of Joe B…. you have to be able to run the ball and, conversely, stop the run.
Fish, it gives me the blues more than BB King ever had them.
Drake I forgot about pay for play in Shelton. Do you think it has been the culprit or could it be the vast amount of non violent sports that they have there. After all why pay to get your head cracked when you can run around kicking a ball back and forth, or batting with your hands or swipe at a shuttlecock.
shuttlecock? Oooohhhhhh, I'm going to faint.
Remmy I would love to hear your reasoning for outwardly disliking me on this blog. I give fair honest points, don't start arguments, and I respect you and Kyle.
Really, though, when did you graduate and who was your favorite teacher?
Disliking you? Never went that route. Hard for me to dislike people.
Answer Kyle's question and stop changing the subject. :)
You don't have to use the word "dislike" but when you have some remark anytime I make a comment that's irrelevant to the actual comment I'm making, yeah that would be considered "going that route" … And Kyle I will gladly answer you after the season. If I wanted people to know who I was I would just use my real name as my username.
Nobody will know who you are if you just tell me your favorite teacher.
Mierzejewski, Amato, I went to Long River MS and had a great relationship with Mrs Cox in the guidance department.
Ah, you must know my old guidance counselor Mrs. Etter then! Very nice woman.
Torrington 42-28 Sacred Heart – Raiders back on track and Hearts reeling
Wolcott 32-28 Woodland – Hawks will need a near perfect game to beat Eagles
Ansonia 55-6 Wilby – Cats are in for a tough one
Seymour 35-14 Watertown – Indians make too many mistakes to stay in this one
Naugy 56-12 Kennedy – Hounds have too much offense for Eagles
Holy Cross 62-38 – St. Paul still needs to stop somebody's offense
Derby 42-20 Crosby – Derby will be a load of trouble for Dogs-
No confidence this year in the Hawks by Ken. Just looked back at some of the picks, four picks against Woodland this year!
Torrington (whenever they play)
Just a few views I have from the Ansonia/Wolcott game (I know it is only 1 game) but Wolcott's QB took a beating but kept coming back for more and really impressed me. How sad is it that I was excited to have Ansonia with only a 14 point halftime lead so I can still watch the Varsity play in the 3rd quarter.
I totally agree with Kyle in terms of these coaches & players not deserving the abuse on here or anywhere. They dedicate a lot of time to their team and I'm not talking just football, all sports. Some teams may not win as much or be as good but it's not for a lack of trying! There are a lot of factors that go into any program and we should respect their dedication and realize this is still HS sports, these are kids and the coaches are making well below minimum wage for all the hours they put in. So keep the negative stuff to your favorite professional/college team, for these kids and coaches respect the time & effort they put into something they believe in!

Black, a graduate of the Warriors Academy set-up, made his first team debut against Newport Gwent Dragons at the end of 2005.
The 22-year-old prop has made 11 first team appearances for Warriors and has featured twice off the bench in the Guinness Premiership against Bristol Rugby and Saracens.
Black, who is an Irish Under-18, Under-19 and Under-21 international, was educated at Colston's School in Bristol before he was recruited to Hartpury College by current Warriors Academy Manager Andrew Stanley.
Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock believes Black will benefit from his time at Cross Green.
"Given the lack of A team rugby during the next two months we have revised our performance strategies for certain individuals and we feel that one or two players would benefit from some time out on loan," said Ruddock.
"In that regard, Callum is about to embark on a loan period with Otley. We believe this will be beneficial for his development in the same way it has benefitted players such as Miles Benjamin, Matt Mullan, James Collins and Matt Cox in the past."
Warriors will have the option to recall Black at any time during the loan period.

Being totally narbo; like, being lame, stupid, and dumb, like a loser, but in a totally cool way that it's "narbo."
Dude, you're so narbo, like you are so lame. You think you're so cool but everyone thinks you're a chompski-honk. Whatever man, peace out.
